- Performing some maintenance on Takeuchi TB153 excavator, replacing a leaking hydraulic line, and installing a new throttle lever. Also the quick coupler finally made and I install that sort of. There is a few issues with it that are being dealt with and it should finally be on for good this weekend. Welcome to all my new subscribers! And thank you to all the new and old subscribes, I appreciate all the support from everyone! #EliteEarthworks

He builds amazing signs! and shooting targets as well lol! He's fairly new TH-cam so let's get this channel some more subs and support! Thank you! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great video. Your going to love that quick coupler after using machines for a while that all have them I couldn't imagine not having one.
atcman5115 thank you! I’m excited about it, it will actually be nice to carry more buckets with me and change them on the fly! Thanks for watching
Nice video. The throttle cable repair looked like it went well. You will be happy every time you use it. It does feel good to make repairs yourself when they go well.
walter mattson thank you! It’s so much nicer to run now. I agree it does feel good to know I fixed this stuff my self. As always thanks for watching and showing support
That is aggravating that you have to modify your coupler, but a minor problem to what you will save in time over the course of changing buckets often! Keep up the videos Brandon! I'll be on vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and hope to be getting content again when I return.😎
soldierofdirt81 it is but not to bad to fix. Hopefully to have it back in this weekend. Have a great vacation! Be safe. And thanks again for watching
Never give up, keep making big steps forward! ....13
arkansas13 that’s right! I appreciate that! Got to keep pushing on. As always thanks for watching and commenting sir!
I bought a set of those ratchet box end wrenches they have. Of course it was cheaper set but it has metric and regular. Maybe they might fit in those tight places. Thanks for sharing the video.
Mark Mortensen yes I’m definitely going to get me a set! Thanks again Mark for watching
Nice job on excavator
thederrick1966 thank you sir! There’s always some time of maintenance. As always thanks for watching
After searching for a 260 and realizing the prices have gone crazy, I’ve started looking for 153fr. Guess I didn’t realize that’s what you started with. Time to start watching from the beginning again 😆
Yep I owned one for a year or so. Great machines really unique
@@eliteearthworksllcwhy did you get rid of it?
@blondeguy08 I traded it for a new 260
We were in maintenance mode the end of last week and the first of this week for the snow and mud, we got back out Wednesday though. I don't mind being in the shop, but a couple of days at a time is plenty.
Jared Ellis same here. Thursday thru Tuesday in the shop then footings on Wednesday. It’s necessary to fix the stuff but I’m like you rather be out running the machines. Thanks again for watching and commenting
Nice job bud, I’m about same way with mechanical stuff, i can do a lot but i get frustrated quickly lol
John Teel thank you! I totally agree, would rather just run the machines. Thanks again for watching
Good thing you’ve been working out, so you can handle that cab! 😂💪🏼
Mrs. Elite Earthworks lol apparently I haven’t been working out enough!
Elite Earthworks LLC I was trying to come through the screen to help but it wouldn’t let me. Sorry.
ProjectNinja 😆 I appreciate that! I don’t lift that cab much, I think those cylinders are getting worn out.
Elite Earthworks LLC should’ve have Mrs. Workz come help ya. I’m sure she wasn’t busy with anything.
ProjectNinja I probably could’ve lifted it
Nice vid elite. I cant stand to pay some one to work on my machines. Like jd wanted to charge me 5grand to put a 400.00 part on we had to split the trac took 2 days tks gary
Yvonne Johnson thanks Gary! Yeah it’s crazy what dealers want to fix stuff. Thanks again for watching and commenting
When you do it you’re self you know who to blame it something goes wrong 👍
Randall Robison lol so true! It’s happened a time or two lol! As always thanks for watching
Amazing you know every piece well. Where should it be placed? These machines require continuous maintenance. Wait for the new video
good job
Yes I’ve been around these a lot so I know I’m the ins and outs. The maintenance isn’t too bad on them. Thanks for watching
Good to see you got your coupler but a shame you have to do mods, would have commented sooner but been commenting on Jasonworksalot and looking at your video, I'm a busy boy. I think you need to fix those rod on the cab too.
barry hansen lol I’m getting ready to watch his now. Got the coupler fixed up, hopefully have it on this weekend. Yes those cylinders are the next to get changed. Thanks again Barry for watching
Hey I am enjoying your channel bud. I have been an equipment operator for a long time and found the Takeuchi controls the best in my opinion. Would you recommend any of these fr’s? I’ve operated some of the bigger model on sites.
Thank you! I appreciate that! I loved this 153fr. The 257fr are great and so is the 180 and 280fr machines. I definitely agree the controls are the best!
The tip radius of the thumb is going to be short with the coupler on as well.
hvy 1ton yeah I was hoping to add to the end of the thumb but we will see. Thanks for watching
Hey Brandon, is there anywhere to order parts online? I’m trying to get parts rounded up to replace pins and bushings in the stick of my 153fr. Do you typically buy from the dealer or is there another option? Thanks and keep up the good work!
I usually buy everything from my dealer. I would think there would be a site online to parts. You may just google Takeuchi 153 pins and see if anything pops up. Thank you! If you don’t find anything let me know and I’ll see if I can find something from my parts guys
Merhabalar bizim tb250 var ve yağ pompasindan ses geliyor ve yağ köpürüyor aynı ayarda başka tb250 ye takınca problem olmuyor sizce sebep ne olabilir
What the heck? Wasn't that quickcoupler made for that machine? It just seems so wrong to have to modify a brand new piece to make it fit what it was "designed" for. Well it'll sure be nice when it's done! Thanks for the video!
burningdinosaurs yeah it’s a bit annoying but I didn’t feel like sending it back to have them do it. It’s good to go now just need to bolt it on. Never enough time. Thanks again for watching
I think Cat makes shorter tips for teeth they might work better. I think you could adapt your machine to Cat teeth. There is a company I think they are called CE Attachments and they make skeleton buckets for skid steer loaders. In fact they make all kinds of attachments for skid steers. I think there is another called Skid Steer Solutions.
Brian Gardiner cool thank you! I have heard of the Skidsteer solutions but I have not heard of CE. I’ll check them out! Thanks again for watching
Hmm 🤔, that don’t seem right that you have to modify the quick coupler, right outta the box. Idk. -You’ve probably mentioned it before, but -What’s the deal with your shop? Is it yours? On your property? -When you were putting that throttle linkage in, I was thinking, “god, I hope he’s got a 2x4 or something propping that cab up”. But then you showed the safety latch at the end. Great editing btw! I just watched your ‘boyfriend’ Jason’s new post 😉. You need to give him a cpl pointers. Nice work! 🤜🤛
psidvicious lol! No it’s not my shop. It’s a friend of my dads. It was an old tucking warehouse. And now it seems to be a site for dumping crap. I get to stay there rent free but it still drives me crazy! My dads landscaping business takes the whole place over with their junk 🙄. I will have to tell Jason! Thanks again for watching and commenting
Do you happen to remember what size allen wrench you ended up using to release your cab?
I don’t off the top of my head it was pretty good sized
You had a fr machine? Did you use the offset much? Local dealer has a new tb250fr. I like it but just heavy. How many Takeuchi models you had?
Yes the offset boom was an awesome feature! I loved it. I’ve had the TL250 TB153fr TB260 TB2150 and my dad has a TL8R2
Have you ever run a tb138 fr? Wondering how they are compared to the 35 sized machines.
I’ve never ran one but I would think they are very similar. This 153 is very compared to a 260
Do all mini excavators open up like that? Or is it specific to this brand?
I’m not sure they may all do it I know Takeuchi does for sure
Why can anything expensive ever come completely ready without any modifications? I guess I’m asking too much for thousands of out hard earned dollars. It must be nice to have a proper and working throttle now. And that shop, cleaned up, would make an awesome workshop. Does it have a heater in it? Other than that, nice work on the video.
ProjectNinja I feel the same way. I thought when they built the coupler the the machine it would have the collars on the correct side. Yes the throttle nice! No heat in the shop but I have a torpedo heater that gets it nice and toasty. Thanks again for watching
That’s one of the reasons why I like cat over the other brands because they look like they’re so much easier to get into. Course I’ve never worked on a real one before so I wouldn’t know that for sure. Also I don’t think patients is your problem. Because you can do a four hour Livestream. It is easy to get pretty frustrated when you’re working on a piece of machinery real or toy so there is nothing wrong there. For example a friend of mine just fixed one of my RC excavators, and he had to take it apart, and as soon as I got home the arm popped right out of the gear box. So you can imagine how frustrating it was getting it lined up so it would snap in, and then after I snapped it in I had to reinstall the driving rod. The driving rod is the pease that attaches to The boom so that the gears can raise and lower it.
Alex Williamson's blind adventures thanks I appreciate that! It does it get frustrating at times! Yes the marathon streams get a little out of hand lol. I could imagine Alex on your excavator, that is aggravating nothing worse than having something worked on only for it to break when you get it back. Thanks for watching and commenting!
No problem man. I’m just glad I didn’t have to take it back over there a second time and have him fix The arm. if it wasn’t for those little rubber hydraulic lines I would not have been able to figure it out at all.
Alex Williamson's blind adventures I bet your models are very life like and detailed.
I’m hoping to get video of them up soon. I have got some big plans for these guys.
Alex Williamson's blind adventures awesome can’t wait to see them!

Jake Walter thanks!
Is there a way to make the thumb switch a continus switch on the 153 to run a pruch cutter with the thumb valves
I believe there is but I’d have to look at one again you may be able to press one of the buttons on the joystick
@@eliteearthworksllc thanks it's a new to me machne and been trying to find this info. If you happen to get it any help is appreaciated.
Won’t your thumb be to short to touch the bucket being the bucket is farther away from the stick?
lfentress yes, I’m just going to weld some plate to lengthen the thumb. Thanks for watching and commenting
I can that sucks buying parts and having too modify them but what are you going to do, I can say all the maintenance that you do at least it's done right ,
Kevin Lewis thanks I appreciate that! They told me I could send it back but I’m too I’m patient lol. I try to keep everything up on everything! As always thanks for watching
@@eliteearthworksllc easy for them to take it back you need it fixed on your timeline
Kevin Lewis exactly!
Where is the guy with the crane when you have to tilt the cab?
walter mattson LoL I know right!
Where did you source the quick coupler?
I found it online I’ll see if I can find where
@@eliteearthworksllc I’d appreciate it
I wish you had a light on when you looked under the cab 😢
Sorry I’ll have to go back and see what I was doing on this machine. I traded it in in 2019 lol
I have a TB180 I can't get the auxiliary hydraulics to activate. There's 2 plugs underneath that seem to go together but I cannot find the wires on the non color coded wiring schematic. I'm about ready to just plug it together and see what happened 😅
Lol I’ll see what I can find out. Wiring is always a pain for me 🤣
@@eliteearthworksllc this thing is ridiculously overcomplicated.
That’s for sure!
if you have to do all kinds of changes ... IS IT even the rite coupler for your machine??
jeff skewes yes everything else lines up, they just welded the on the wrong side. It’s USA Attachments and apparently they build them to your machine. Which is funny wouldn’t they know to weld the collars on the correct side 😆. Thanks again for watching and commenting
@@eliteearthworksllc my deere has the wedge coupler. its better than knocking pins out but i still need a hammer and a wrench to change buckets. i also can't put the bucket on backwards. My little ingersoll backhoe i used to have i made a spring loaded pin grabber coupler and I've been thinking about making a hydraulic pin grabber for the mini but want to make a flail mower first. i already built a skeleton bucket and screening trommel to deal with all the rock i have.
73DiamondReo yeah I figure this is how that is going to be. But like you said easier than knocking out pins. I wish I was better at the fabrication stuff. I need a skeleton bucket, I’ve been thinking about that vs a screener that’s $5,000. Thanks for the input and watching
@@eliteearthworksllc I've got videos of the screener, skeleton bucket and coupler builds. Never built anything like it before and made patterns off the regular digging bucket. Trommel bucket was a little more involved.
73DiamondReo awesome I will check those out. Thanks!
I used to think you pronounced Takeuchi as "Lakebuck" reason being is the sticker was damaged kn the skidsteer.
🤣🤣 that’s great!
Comrade earthwork"z" I am so sorry for stealing your tools I will be sure to send them back to you with stickers. Always remember if it was broken you can't break it again doesn't hurt to try... I guess that's in reason. Idk. If you get in over your head just FaceTime me! DRINK MORE VODKAS!
JasonWorksAlot yeah no kidding now I’m going to have to hit up harbor freight lol! That’s true you can’t break it anymore. I will definitely call you if I get in a pinch! Thanks comrade for the support!
Trade your skills to someone who works on heavy machinery= win/win.
Good call! 👍🏻

I'll bet the very Bloated money Grab shop Rate at any & every mini equipped machine So-called dealer to Simply change out the very weak in the first place MADE too simply brake fail Mechanical throttle linkage Rod you're attempting to change is a $1000.00 Bill l wouldn't be surprised if it was that much at all. Dealer's have figured out too gauge the little person by doing piece work instead of by the hour assuming it's close to $200.00 an hour. A complete waste of money on the customers end if they can simply take the time to get her done themselves and pocket close to $1800.00 for other future machine over the parts counter purchasing, the smarter equipment owner always tries to do it away from the bloated dealer prices just like Conveince stores Mark up the everyday essential items in life and make a killing at doing so Machinery dealers are just like 711's Mac's and the rest you want it were 24 hours and your going to pay way more for the chips pop chocolate bars more than you think for the Conveince of having it for you. It's all about Conveince and Shop Rates thrive on that and make a killing doing everything on the machine at there higher Cost to the customers FOR Conveince Sake. You can always get back at the dealer by simply buying a part and Conveniently do it yourself. The Customer is usually right in most settings just need to be ready with the right appropriate come back.
That’s for sure I would much rather fix stuff myself if I can to save a bit and fix it when I need it instead of having the down time
